As a longtime baseball-knower, my highly attuned eye says that this Vlad kid might be good.

It was guaranteed to be a home run as soon as Vlad fouled the ball off himself. The man's just a stone-cold masochist.

Took a lot of experience and training to get that keen talent evaluation.

Tapia is going to end up hitting leadoff whenever Springer gets hurt. It's coming.

The greatest achievement of the analytics era is finally killing the "give the fast guy who can't hit the most PAs" thing.

He already has the lowest in-zone percentage in baseball, he's just been chasing more than is typical. Presumably, the patience will return and he'll start walking a tonne.

Can't wait to hit the ballpark this year. Haven't gone to a game since Summer 2019.
